GWRSD Newsletter - June 16, 2026

GWRSD Superintendent Message & Send Off June 16, 2026 In this issue: Congratulations / Superintendent Message / A District of Gratitude / NHED Resources for Educators and Students / Upcoming Events Superintendent Message A Note for Summer Dear Families and Staff, As we close another remarkable school year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our students, families, faculty, staff, and community members. Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated successes, supported one another, and remained steadfast in our shared commitment to the growth and well-being of every child. Public education is a profession rooted in hope. Each day, we have the privilege of helping young people discover their talents, develop their character, and prepare for the opportunities and responsibilities that await them. It is both our pleasure and our honor to serve in the field of public education, and we are grateful for the trust and partnership of our families. The success of our schools is built upon the strong relationships we share with you. As summer begins, I am reminded of a story often told about the beloved children's author E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little. White lived on a farm in Maine and was known for carrying a notebook wherever he went. He would pause to watch a spider spinning its web, listen to the sounds of geese flying overhead, or observe the small details of everyday life. Those moments of curiosity eventually became stories that inspired generations of readers. White once demonstrated that learning does not stop when school doors close. Some of the most important lessons come from paying attention, asking questions, exploring the world around us, and taking time to wonder. A spider's web became Charlotte. A small mouse became Stuart Little. A curious observer became one of America's most cherished authors. This summer, I encourage our students to embrace that same spirit of curiosity. Read books that take you on adventures. Visit a park, a beach, a museum, or a library. Ask questions. Explore new interests. Try something that challenges you. Thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the year. We are grateful to work alongside you in nurturing the next generation of learners, leaders, and citizens. Congratulations to all of our students for another successful year of growth and achievement. On behalf of the entire district leadership team, I wish you a safe, healthy, restful, and joyful summer. With gratitude, Caroline A District of Gratitude As we close another school year, we pause to recognize the people whose work, care, expertise, and commitment make our schools extraordinary places for children. Public education is a collective endeavor, and every role matters. To each member of our district team, thank you. To our Teachers: Thank you for the lessons that happen every day and for the lessons that happen between the lessons. Thank you for your patience, your dedication, your creativity, and your willingness to pour so much of yourselves into the lives of children. Thank you for wanting to be a teacher, counselor, nurse, coach, advocate, cheerleader, and problem-solver all at once, while somehow forgetting that you are only human. Thank you for bringing your talents, passions, and gifts into your classrooms. Thank you for holding space for students who need to be seen, heard, challenged, comforted, or simply noticed. Thank you for the constant give and take of this profession, for mentoring colleagues, supporting one another, and showing up day after day to do work that matters. To our Paraprofessionals: Thank you for knowing our students so well. Thank you for listening, encouraging, redirecting, supporting, and celebrating. Thank you for your humility and your quiet strength. You are often the steady presence that helps students navigate their day. You support not only students but entire classrooms, teams, and schools. Your relationships, compassion, and consistency make an immeasurable difference in the lives of children. To our Custodians: Thank you for the work that often happens in the shadows. Thank you for the problems you solve before anyone notices there was a problem. Thank you for the ideas, repairs, adjustments, and improvements that keep our schools running. Thank you for moving classrooms, setting up events, staying late, arriving early, and working hours that seem to have no end when our schools need you most. The environments our students and staff enjoy every day exist because of your care and dedication. Your work matters, and it makes a difference every single day. To our Maintenance and Technology Teams: Thank you for doing everything. From filling potholes to climbing into ductwork, from repairing heating systems on the coldest days while schools remain in session, to painting, renovating, fixing, building, mowing, planting, and improving our facilities, you keep our district functioning. Managing and mitigating risk in all our systems. Whether working alongside contractors on major projects or handling countless smaller tasks that never make headlines, your efforts create safe, welcoming, and functional learning environments for students and staff alike. To our Food Service Staff: Thank you for feeding our students with care and dignity. Thank you for seeing children not just as faces in a lunch line, but as individuals with stories, needs, and relationships. You know many of our students by name. You notice when someone seems off. You celebrate milestones and provide comfort through consistency. You understand that for some children, school meals are among the most reliable meals they receive. Your work nourishes more than bodies—it supports learning, well-being, and belonging. Thank you for making it work every day and for every special event throughout the year. To our Front Office Staff and Administrative Assistants: Thank you for being the face and voice of our schools. Families know you, trust you, and often turn to you first. You answer questions that are both in and far beyond your job description. You manage crises, schedules, paperwork, phone calls, visitors, and countless unexpected challenges with grace and professionalism. You comfort students, celebrate successes, solve problems, and somehow keep everything moving. The heartbeat of every school office is found in the people who work there. To our Counselors, Social Workers, Nurses, and Specialists: Thank you for supporting the whole child. Thank you for helping students navigate challenges, connect with resources, and find their path forward. Thank you for serving not only students but often entire families, sometimes across generations. You know our communities deeply and help build bridges between schools, homes, and support systems. Your compassion, expertise, and advocacy make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families. To our Bus Drivers and Transportation Team: Thank you for starting your days before most of us are awake. Thank you for clearing snow, navigating difficult weather, and safely transporting students through every season. You are often the first school employee a child sees each day and the last one they see before returning home. Somehow, despite a bus full of students seated behind you, you know them. You learn their personalities, notice when something is wrong, celebrate their successes, and build connections that matter. Thank you for safely carrying one of our most precious responsibilities each day. To our Theater Staff, Advisors, Coaches, and Activity Leaders: Thank you for creating opportunities that change lives. We know there are students who come to school because they found a place to belong in a theater production, on a team, in a club, or through an activity. You provide friendship, mentorship, confidence, camaraderie, and lifelong memories. You help students discover strengths they never knew they had. As educator Rita Pierson famously said, "Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them." Thank you for being those champions. Children can accomplish extraordinary things when someone believes in them. To our SAU Team: Thank you for the work that few people fully see and even fewer fully understand. Thank you for managing budgets, payroll, benefits, grants, contracts, purchasing, compliance, facilities support, legal matters, state reporting, and countless operational responsibilities. Your work requires precision, expertise, and extraordinary attention to detail. While much of what you do happens behind the scenes, every classroom, every program, every employee, and every student benefits from your efforts. The complexity and importance of your work cannot be overstated, and our district depends on it every day. To our Administrators—Principals, Assistant Principals, Directors, and District Leaders: We list you last because that is often where leaders place themselves. Thank you for carrying responsibilities that are rarely visible to others. Thank you for making difficult decisions, navigating conflict, supporting staff, advocating for students, balancing competing needs, and serving as diplomats, problem-solvers, and champions for your schools. Thank you for taking the hits when necessary, defending your communities, and remaining focused on what is best for children. Leadership can be both rewarding and exhausting. As this year comes to a close, please remember to refill your own cup. The care you provide to others matters, but so does caring for yourselves. Together, you represent the very best of public education. Every role matters. Every contribution counts. Every act of service helps shape the experiences of the children and families we are privileged to serve. Thank you for all you do.   New Hampshire Education Department (NHED) New Updates for Students & Families: UNH Tech Camp: Inspiring Young Minds Through Experiential Summer Programs is available for students from July 13-24.
